B5-030 CBCL: Viral Hepatitis Flashcards
ssRNA picorna virus
HAV
dsDNA hepadenovirus
HBV
ssRNA flavivirus
HCV
circular defective ssRNA deltavirus
HDV
ssRNA hepevirus
HEV
what hepatitis viruses have a vaccine available?
A and B
what hepatitis viruses are spread fecal-orally?
A and E
what serology is used to diagnose Hep A?
IgM
what serology is used to diagnose Hep B?
HBsAg
HBcAg
PCR
what serology is used to diagnose Hep C?
HCAb
PCR
what serology is used to diagnose Hep D?
HDV IgM
PCR
what serology is used to diagnose Hep E?
HEV PCR, IgM
which hepatitis viruses cause acute infection?
A and E
AcutE
what will be the biggest clinical distinguishing factor between Hepatitis A and E?
exposure risk
A: daycares
E: travel, unclean water, shellfish, etc.
elevated liver transaminases into the 1000s indicates
Hep A/E
fulminant hepatic failure occurs in 20% of pregnancy cases
Hep E
whats a good way to differentiate the acute hepatic viruses causing hepatitis from CMV, EBV, etc.?
its a lab value
CMV/EBV usually only cause liver transaminases to rise into the 100s and usually have associated pharyngitis
HepA/E would cause AST/ALT into the 1000s
first stage of liver scarring after portal tract inflammation
fibrosis
HCV induces insulin resistance leading to […] which contributes to fibrosis
steatosis
when fibrosis takes over the whole liver, fibrous tissue encompases regenerating nodules causing a nodular appearance
cirrhosis
associated with aplastic anemia, glomerulonephritis, polyarteritis nodosa
Hep B
associated with metabolic disorders, cryoglobulinemia, glomerulonephritis
Hep C
combination therapies for Hep C
2
- glecaprevir/pibrentasvir
- sofosbuvir/velpatasvir
other based on genotype
first line treatment for Hep B
tenofovir, entecavir
who should be treated for Hep B?
- pregnant
- active malignancy
- HIV
- immunosuppressed
- liver failure related to Hep B
- very high viral load
what is the mechanism of action for tenofovir, entecavir, and adefovir
reverse transcriptase inhibitor
what two antivirals are not preferred for Hep B due to increasing resistance?
adefovir
lamivudine (cystosine analog)
who should be treated for Hep C?
everyone with HCV except those with short life expectancy due to liver failure
MOA for NS5A inhibitors
-asvir
inhibit NS5A which aids in RNA replication
side effects of NS5A inhibitors?
-asvir
headaches
diarrhea
MOA of NS5B inhibitors?
-buvir
inhibit NS5B, RNA-dependent polymerase that acts as a chain terminator
prevents RNA replication
side effects of NS5B inhibitors?
-buvir
headache
fatigue
MOA for NS3/4A inhibitors
-previr
inhibit NS3/4A protease preventing viral replication
side effects of grazoprevir
NS3/4A inhibitor
headache
fatigue
side effects of simeprevir
NS3/4A inhibitor
photosensitvity
rash
